Tests of General Relativity with GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1145
The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this n…
Constraining black-hole spins with gravitational wave observations
Vaibhav Tiwari, Stephen Fairhurst, Mark Hannam
The observation of gravitational-wave signals from merging black-hole binaries enables direct measurement of the properties of the black holes. An individual observation allows mea…
On modeling for Kerr black holes: Basis learning, QNM frequencies, and spherical-spheroidal mixing coefficients
L. London, E. Fauchon-Jones
Models of black hole properties play an important role in the ongoing direct detection of gravitational waves from black hole binaries. One important aspect of model based gravitat…
Search for gravitational waves from a long-lived remnant of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138
One unanswered question about the binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 is the nature of its post-merger remnant. A previous search for post-merger gravitational waves targeted…
Constraining the Inclination of Binary Mergers from Gravitational-wave Observations
Samantha A. Usman, Joseph C. Mills, Stephen Fairhurst
Much of the information we hope to extract from the gravitational-waves signatures of compact binaries is only obtainable when we can accurately constrain the inclination of the so…
Phenomenological model for the gravitational-wave signal from precessing binary black holes with two-spin effects
Sebastian Khan, Katerina Chatziioannou, Mark Hannam +1
The properties of compact binaries, such as masses and spins, are imprinted in the gravitational-waves they emit and can be measured using parameterised waveform models. Accurately…
Testing the multipole structure of compact binaries using gravitational wave observations
Shilpa Kastha, Anuradha Gupta, K. G. Arun +2
We propose a novel method to test the consistency of the multipole moments of compact binary systems with the predictions of General Relativity (GR). The multipole moments of a com…
Relevance of tidal effects and post-merger dynamics for binary neutron star parameter estimation
Reetika Dudi, Francesco Pannarale, Tim Dietrich +4
Measurements of the properties of binary neutron star systems from gravitational-wave observations require accurate theoretical models for such signals. However, current models are…
Mitigation of the instrumental noise transient in gravitational-wave data surrounding GW170817
Chris Pankow, Katerina Chatziioannou, Eve A. Chase +9
In the coming years gravitational-wave detectors will undergo a series of improvements, with an increase in their detection rate by about an order of magnitude. Routine detections…
Inferring black-hole orbital dynamics from numerical-relativity gravitational waveforms
Eleanor Hamilton, Mark Hannam
Binary-black-hole dynamics cannot be related to the resulting gravitational-wave signal by a constant retarded time. This is due to the non-trivial dynamical spacetime curvature be…
Bayesian Inference Analysis of Unmodelled Gravitational-Wave Transients
Francesco Pannarale, Ronaldas Macas, Patrick J. Sutton
We report the results of an in-depth analysis of the parameter estimation capabilities of BayesWave, an algorithm for the reconstruction of gravitational-wave signals without refer…
Trumpet Initial Data for Boosted Black Holes
Kyle Slinker, Charles R. Evans, Mark Hannam
We describe a procedure for constructing initial data for boosted black holes in the moving-punctures approach to numerical relativity that endows the initial time slice from the o…
Time-domain effective-one-body gravitational waveforms for coalescing compact binaries with nonprecessing spins, tides and self-spin effects
Alessandro Nagar, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Walter Del Pozzo +21
We present TEOBResumS, a new effective-one-body (EOB) waveform model for nonprecessing (spin-aligned) and tidally interacting compact binaries.Spin-orbit and spin-spin effects are…
GW170817: Measurements of Neutron Star Radii and Equation of State
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1149
On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo observatories made the first direct detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of a neutron star binary system. The detection of th…
Properties of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1148
On August 17, 2017, the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors observed a low-mass compact binary inspiral. The initial sky localization of the source of the…
Empirical tests of the black hole no-hair conjecture using gravitational-wave observations
Gregorio Carullo, Laura van der Schaaf, Lionel London +10
We show that second-generation gravitational-wave detectors at their design sensitivity will allow us to directly probe the ringdown phase of binary black hole coalescences. This o…
Black-hole Spectroscopy by Making Full Use of Gravitational-Wave Modeling
Richard Brito, Alessandra Buonanno, Vivien Raymond
The Kerr nature of a compact-object-coalescence remnant can be unveiled by observing multiple quasi-normal modes (QNMs) in the post-merger signal. Current methods to achieve this g…
A "no-hair" test for binary black holes
Siddharth Dhanpal, Abhirup Ghosh, Ajit Kumar Mehta +2
One of the consequences of the black-hole "no-hair" theorem in general relativity (GR) is that gravitational radiation (quasi-normal modes) from a perturbed Kerr black hole is uniq…
